Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 3 head gasket failures on this vehicle. 1st repair was under warranty on 12/16/98 at 27392 miles. 2nd repair was after warranty period, paid by myself, on 2/01 at 62253 miles. both repairs were performed at valley chevrolet service center, 221 conyngham ave, wilkes-barre, pa 18702. head gasket is now leaking again at 77000 miles and the 1 year warranty on the last repair expired in february of 2002, 3 months ago. i contacted chevrolet corporation, and have a copy of their email response stating they will not take responsibility for this repair. they stated that covered problems occur "early" in the vehicles usage, (the first repair was under the original warranty period) and that this vehicle is too old and has too many miles for them to take responsiblity at this time.*ak
